4. Setup and Installation

This faucet is designed for either single-hole or three-hole installation using the included 10-inch deck plate. The recommended hole size is 1.31-1.5 inches.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and dry. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean any residue.
2. Install Deck Plate (Optional): If your sink has three holes, place the deck plate over the holes. For single-hole sinks, the deck plate is optional for aesthetic preference.
3. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the hole(s) in the sink/deck plate. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware.
4. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses (24 inches, cUPC certified) to the corresponding water supply valves. The hoses are typically color-coded (red for hot, blue for cold). Ensure connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
5. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Hoimpro kitchen faucet is designed for ease of use and versatility.

Single Handle Control:

• The single handle controls both water temperature and flow.
• Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
• Lift the handle to increase water flow and push it down to decrease or turn off the water.

Three-Function Sprayer Head:

The pull-down sprayer head offers three distinct functions for various tasks:

• Stream: Ideal for filling pots and general washing.
• Spray: Provides a wider coverage for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
• Pause: Temporarily stops water flow, useful for multitasking without turning off the main faucet handle.

Switch between modes using the buttons located on the sprayer head.

360-Degree Rotation:

The high-arch spout design allows for 360-degree rotation, providing ample room for various sink activities and easy access to all areas of your sink.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your faucet, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator on the sprayer head for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections, especially the hot and cold supply lines, are securely tightened. Check the O-rings and gaskets for proper seating and damage.
• Sprayer Not Switching Modes: Ensure the buttons on the sprayer head are not stuck or obstructed. Clean the sprayer head if there is any debris.
